Some fun choices here. For “classics”, ours liked The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. series at that age.
My daughter was not an advanced reader but enjoyed the Twilight Vampire books in sixth grade. Love story obviously but there is no sex at all in the first 3 books. They get married in the 4th there is a baby which is the plot point so obviously some general discussion occurs. I read them because we read what our kids are reading or might read to get an idea. I would never recommend them as literature, but safe if your middle school kid wanted to read a more “teenage” book. Fun side note: there really is a Forks, WA where the stories take place. I had run across a first printing of the first book and had it on eBay. It sold to the Forks WA tourism office. |
